The autumn colors of Chang'an are becoming more and more intense. Like the large red leaves of Nanshan, this majestic and majestic imperial capital of the dynasty is also stained with endless blood.

The people of Chang'an, in this autumn, witnessed a wonderful historical drama in a stunned way.

Since Changle Hou Yuanzhao first opened the killing ring, he killed the immortal master in the palace in public outside the Vermilion Bird Gate. Announcing the charges and clarifying the canonical punishment has become a common thing for people in Chang'an.

The first group of court courtiers to be killed, a total of ten people. Under the joint investigation of the Lieutenant's Mansion and the Embroidery Guard, the crimes committed by these people were soon ascertained. The facts are clear and cannot be denied. The imperial court posted announcements in various places in Chang'an City, and for a time there was a tide of spectators and public opinion.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. Who would have thought that under the surface of prosperity and prosperity, some moths would be so bold and take advantage of their power to amass wealth like mountains and seas!

All kinds of extravagance and greed are hateful.

And as the investigation deepens, the truth behind it becomes even more surprising. When Captain Si Li came to Yuan Zhao with a thick amount of information and revealed the intricate secret relationship, Yuan Zhao read it calmly, but there was no anger as he expected.

"Yuanhou, this is just the tip of the iceberg, if you continue to investigate, I am afraid that there are very few people who can be innocent...... In this way, there will really be an officialdom earthquake that will shake the world......! ”

Junjun looked at Yuan Zhao's face, the reason why he came here was just to want an attitude from him. If Yuan Zhao is determined to pursue it to the end, he will definitely not be timid to retreat. Later, the final army saw that Yuan Zhao casually put those secrets related to the lives of countless people on the case, and smiled faintly.

"Such a situation is inevitable and there is no need to make a fuss. In any dynasty, the difficulty of governing officials is a stubborn problem. Even the most wise and martial kings are a bit tricky to deal with. ”

"However, if you let it go unchecked, wouldn't it be worse and ......deeper if it continues like this?"

Junjun's tone was full of worry. This person who has been full of pride since he was a teenager, since he has taken on a heavy responsibility, has always taken the world as his own responsibility, has the courage to take responsibility, and has never been discouraged. The more he knew, the more shocking he became. Could it be that the sacrifice of countless Han soldiers in exchange for today's good situation is to allow the moths who are ready to move to begin to unscrupulously eat away at the dynasty's grease!

"Of course, you can't leave it alone. However, it is difficult to achieve good results by relying only on punishment and killing. You see, man's greed is endless. When power is in hand, there are countless external temptations, and few people can refuse. And as the country becomes more and more prosperous, as an official, he will face more and more tests. In such a situation, it is not enough to rely only on self-discipline or moral constraints. Even strict laws may not have much effect. ”

"So what do you have to do...... Yuanhou, do you have a good plan in mind?"

Facing the eager gaze of the final army, Yuan Zhao nodded. He had an idea in his heart from a long time ago. In the great era, the most important thing that needs to be paid attention to is no longer external troubles, but internal worries! He will not hide anything from these like-minded fellow travelers around him.

"Brother Junjun, it is actually very simple to maintain the clarity of the officials. First of all, we need to build a good employment mechanism, so that people can make the best use of their talents and use the best. Then establish a perfect security system to relieve all those who are officials of the dynasty...... As long as these two points can be done well, the good situation of the country is still worth looking forward to. ”

The final army has been intelligent since childhood, and has the name of a prodigy. In addition, he later traveled to the world, and what he saw and heard increased his horizons, and he can be said to be the best among his contemporaries. However, after listening to Yuan Zhao's words, even he couldn't help but be confused. Just about to ask in detail, Yuan Zhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"To put it simply, it is to all people with lofty ideals to have access to display their talents. Moreover, as long as they can do their best to fulfill their duties and truly take responsibility for the country and the world, then no matter who they are, they will get the honor they deserve and can guarantee their privileged life after becoming a prince. Hehe! ”

The eyes of the final army shone brightly. He finally understood what Yuan Zhao was trying to say.

"Good! If this is really the case, there will be a basis for advancing and retreating...... Sure enough, it is the best strategy for employing people throughout the ages! Yuanhou's high argument is very impressive! ”

"It's not my invention, it's just borrowed from somewhere else...... Hehe! ”

The final army naturally pretended to ignore Yuan Zhao's humble words. Yuan Zhao has thousands of splendid things in his heart, and all of them have always been deeply convinced. If one day, this young marquis said that he can fly to the sky to pick up the stars and the moon, I'm afraid it's possible!

However, thinking of some cruel things to come, the final army restrained his smile.

"Yuanhou, I'm afraid that before you start to implement the good systems planned in your chest, starting from the court and continuing to the counties and counties of the world, you should carry out a thorough investigation, right?"

"Not bad! It's necessary. Only by thoroughly cleaning this world can we usher in an unprecedented new situation. Brother Junjun, don't worry, this matter is ...... Prime Minister Gongsun is already starting to do it. ”

The majestic captain of Si Li knew it well. He didn't ask any more, he had already handed over a lot of secrets in the dark to Yuan Zhao, how he wanted to use them, there must be something wonderful.

In the direction of the square outside Suzaku Gate, there was a tsunami-like sound of mountains and tsunami. The two stood side by side, looking at the scenery of Chang'an in autumn, and the ambition in their chests was gorgeous and mottled.

Following the last killing, another group of court officials were sentenced to death by the Ming Dynasty. And this time, those who were tied to the execution ground and beheaded were among the imperial historians Zhang Tang and Tingwei Wei Ji.

Zhang Tang is good at playing with power, and he has many crimes. In the end, he was sentenced to beheading for the crime of treason. Luckily, however, his family was exempted. It is said that this is because this person is not greedy for money, and his family does not have much wealth that he does not deserve. And, most importantly, his death sentence was personally approved by His Majesty the Emperor, who was still recuperating.

Zhang Tang was afraid that until he died, he didn't understand why the emperor didn't keep him. Under the attention of thousands of people, he looked back at the pale-faced group of former colleagues, and then raised his head to look at the majestic aura revealed in the sky above Chang'an City for a while. This high-ranking official of the imperial court, who had been in a high position for most of his life, let out a long sigh, leaving the last sentence of hatred.

"Yuan Zhao, the future ruler of this infinite empire, will it be you?"

The head of the knife is cut off, and the blood stains the city. All plans and calculations have come to naught......

In the sleeping place of the emperor of Weiyang Palace, Liu Che leaned on the bed and calmly looked at the colorful autumn colors outside the window, and he hadn't said a word for a long, long time.

The imperial doctors gave him the healing medicine prepared by Yuan Zhao on time, and finally gradually controlled the attack of Gu poison in his body. But his body was greatly damaged after all, and he still had some mobility problems after these days. It will be difficult to get back to the same physical condition as before.

In addition to the guards, eunuchs, and stewards who accompanied him, the only one who has been serving by his side and listening to orders is the favored minister Dong Yan. He is the only one who can freely enter and leave Weiyang Palace without being restricted. Of course, the crown prince Liu Ju will come over every day to say goodbye. And he will report to his father what happened in the imperial court and the counties of the world that day.

As his condition improved, the Emperor calmed his anger and did not have the same hysterical seizures as he had on the previous occasions, but his attitude became very cold. Whether the crown prince or the queen came over, he never showed a smile.

"Who killed today?"

It seemed to come from the heavens, and the words were cold. Although autumn had not yet passed, and winter had arrived early, all the people in the palace still felt a deep chill, and many people couldn't help but shiver.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, at noon today, outside the Suzaku Gate, the sixteen court criminals under the Imperial Historian Zhang Tang were killed ......."

Dong Yan hurriedly walked up to him, whispered back, and covered his legs with the velvet blanket that the emperor had lifted. After all, the weather is a little cooler, and the emperor's unhealed body may not be able to withstand the invasion of the cold.

Emperor Liu Che seemed to be a little irritable, and opened it again. He hated his legs very much, why couldn't he gallop across his horse and bend his bow to hunt like before.

If it were possible, he would like to get up now, pull out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and teach those rebels and thieves outside a good lesson.

"Your Majesty...... Restrain your anger! Yuanhou said that he wanted to recover quickly ....... ”

"Shut up! Don't mention his name in front of me, have you forgotten? Hum! ”

Dong Yan hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to continue. Although the emotions in his heart were a little complicated, in front of the emperor at this time, he did not dare to show the slightest expression. Some euphemistic persuasion words are even more difficult to say.

The people inside and outside the palace did not dare to come out. Everyone knows that yesterday, the crown prince and Yuan Zhao and the prime minister Gongsun Hong entered the palace and reported many things to the emperor. In the end, I don't know what to think, His Majesty the Emperor did not have any forgiveness for anyone to be executed. He personally agreed to the list of beheadings, including Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang and Tingwei Wei Ji.

"Dong Yan, how did you do the thing I asked you to do?"

After a little silence, the emperor turned his head to stare at Dong Yan's eyes and seemed to ask casually. The young favored minister was shocked, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor would not let go of that thought after all.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already met with him......."

"Well, that's good. He used to be your man...... I also received the emperor's grace, if I knew the advance and retreat, and made great contributions at the critical moment, I would definitely reward him heavily, give the marquis and knight, and never break my word......! ”
